For the 2019/20 season, Northwestern Hockey plans to field competitive travel teams at all age levels (Mites, Squirts, Peewees, and Bantams). In addition, short season midget (high school) teams will be formed. Midget registration and tryouts will happen at a later date. The fall/winter travel season begins in September each year, but placement on a travel team is done through a thorough tryout process conducted in late March / early April. The exact number of teams at each age level will be determined by the number of players interested in joining a travel team. When multiple teams are formed at an age level, they are organized by skill level (i.e., A, A1, B, etc.) as determined by the tryout process.

Registration is required before the first tryout date. The fee to attend tryouts is $75 for all players, except full time goalies. All full time goalies on the squirt, peewee, and bantam levels may attend tryouts at no charge. Please follow the links below for registration. Please review the Tryout Registration Instruction page if you are unfamiliar with the registration process on our web site.

Important Note

The $75 Tryout fee is non-refundable. However, if a player who attends tryouts and is not placed on a travel team (or chooses not to play on a full travel team) and they continue to play on a Northwest Icehawks limited travel or mite cross ice team, the $75 tryout fee will be applied against the cost of the chosen program. This is intended to encourage players to attend tryouts, even if there is uncertainty about whether the player should or wants to be playing on a travel hockey team or not.
